Indiana Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 8:57 pm

Indiana has a very small number of lighthouses, tucked waaayyy down in the bottom of Lake Michigan. My primary source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL] by Wes Oleszewski, but I have also made use of The Northern Lights: Lighthouses of The Upper Great Lakes [NL] by Charles K. Hyde.

  3. Michigan City Breakwater Light [NL]

Michigan Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 8:29 am

I’m going to start with the easternmost corner of the state, with lighthouses of Lake Erie [St. Clair River/Lake St. Clair], and then move on to the Lake Huron lighthouses, working my way westward along the lake until I get to the Straits of Mackinac which feeds into Lake Michigan, and then go down the eastern coast of Lake Michigan until we get to Indiana. Skipping over the lighthouses in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, we’ll pick it back up again in the upper half of the state on the western side of Lake Michigan, and then doubling back to the lighthouses on Lake Superior. My primary source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL], by Wes Oleszewski; however, I have also made extensive use of Pinpoint Guide to Eastern Great Lakes Lighthouses [PGEGLL] by Ray Jones, Great Lakes Lighthouses Encyclopedia [GLLE], by Larry & Patricia Wright, Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: Your Guide to the Region’s Historic Lighthouses [LGL] by Todd E.

Pennsylvania Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 7:04 pm

My source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL], by Wes Oleszewski. It’s a short list lol, since Pennsylvania only has a tiny bit of Lake Erie. I’ll start in the east and work my way westward. This won’t take long. 😛

  1. Erie Land Light
  2. Presque Isle Light
  3. Erie Pierhead Light

New York State Lighthouses

Filed under: lighthouse lists — karin @ 5:09 pm

My primary source for this list is Great Lakes Lighthouses: American & Canadian [GLL], by Wes Oleszewski; however, I have also made extensive use of LighthouseFriends.com [LF], Lighthouses of New York: Greater New York Harbor, Hudson River and Long Island [LNY], Lighthouses of New York [LNY2] and Sentinels in the Stream: Lighthouses of the St. Lawrence River [SS], and Seaway Trail Lighthouses. I will start with the lighthouses on the Lake Erie, at the westernmost end of the state, and continue my way westward along Lake Ontario. After Lake Ontario, we will continue along the St. Lawrence River and then make a couple of jumps – first over to visit the lighthouses of Lake Champlain and then over to the Hudson River, before making our way finally to the lighthouses of New York Harbor and Long Island. Lighthouses with links are ones that I have visited and have made a page about.
